A student at central Michigan University was nearly killed after a hazing incident at a fraternity.

Theresa Seely's now-viral Facebook post sharing images of her son Andrew's face has sent shockwaves around the Internet.

Andrew suffers from a deadly peanut allergy and while sleeping, had peanut butter spread on his face.

The incident happened in the fall but Andrew -- who has now transferred -- only just spoke out about it on Tuesday due to fear of backlash.

Fraternity Alpha Chi Rho was removed from campus recognition in 2011 due to hazing, a CMU spokesperson told Huffington Post.

Because the fraternity was off-campus and is not a recognized fraternity, the school police have no jurisdiction. However, the university is investigating for potential violations of the student code of conduct, which if violated, could lead to suspensions and permanent expulsion in serious cases.
